Screen Capture In Windows 7

[Dan Schultz]

Does anyone know if a screen capture can be done with Windows 7?

I have several CD's/DVD's containing hundreds of .pdf files. I would like to be able to print out a file list.

If you're looking to just capture the filenames (and other info), you might do better to use a program to extract that data and put it in a spreadsheet.

I've used this before, and while not "pretty", it works quite well.

I downloaded the 'Karenware' thing. You're right... it works pretty well if all you want to do is print out the filenames and data. Ultimately... I would like to be able to 'pop' the names of the files into my Access database.

The output from this program is a txt file. The values are separated by tabs, so you can copy/paste this into Excel (or wherever else).

It's not free and it has a few bugs; but PDF Explorer (http://www.rttsoftware.com/) will probably do everything you will ever want to do in organizing PDF files into a database.

Does windows 7 still have a command prompt?

If yes, then
d:
dir *.pdf > c:\blah.out
notepad c:\blah.out
file, print

There's also the "snipping tool" in the Start menu. Just click and drag to highlight the section of the screen you want to capture, and it turns it into a JPEG, GIF, or HTML file.

Problem solved.... in a way that I didn't really expect. Buried on the CD's was a 'Works' database file that I was able to manipulate via a tab delimited format into Excel and then into Access. That was the ultimate goal.... to build a relational database that can simply be added to.

Thanks for the suggestions.
